'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think people who study this sort of thing give waaaaaaaaaay more weight to the "friend" label on Facebook/LJ/MySpace than it deserves. It's used to make the social networking software seem more personal, but I've got plenty of people on my LJ friendslist who aren't technically my friends - some of them aren't even people.
I have 4 (out of 45) Facebook friends I haven't met F2F. 3 are Buffistas and 1 is someone who friended me through a mutual college friend.
For lunch I had a giant vat of potato leek soup. It was good. Of course, I now recall that I was going to defrost some chicken for dinner. Didn't take the chicken out of the freezer. Dinner will probably be more potato leek soup, then.
I disagree with that title ("10 Things You Might’ve Been Better Off Not Knowing About Your Body") - it was cool to learn those things (although some I knew).
But there are definitely some things in there I can imagine people wishing they never knew. Hence, the "might've".
Way cool kitchen scale. Almost, but cool as remote-controlled laser combat cars.

So far, for me, friend on facebook means just about that. There's little enough posted that there's no point even reading the little if I don't care. LJ and Myspace are blogs and the next stage in the evolution of the personal web page (remember the /~ days?). Not the same thing in terms of consuming and publishing.

Oh yeah - I should have noted I was speaking for myself.
One of the folksy, “gosh durnit, that president sure is a funny feller” anecdotes in Robert Draper’s new book about George W. Bush, Dead Certain, is that Dubya is a big fan of Austin Powers and in particular, the character of Dr. Evil, imitating him often along the corridors of the White House.
Does this mean Bush will get a hairless cat?
Or that Robert Wagner will get a job as his new chief advisor?
